Water → HCID 22568242, compound

3-Chloro-2,2-dimethyl-propionyl chloride (0.5 g, 3.2 mmol) was stirred in dichloromethane (20 mL) at RT with triethylamine (0.9 mL, 6.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was cooled to 5° C. and then pyrrolidine (0.32 mL, 3.9 mmol), was added drop wise. After addition the reaction was stirred at RT for 1 hr, and then the reaction mixture was washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (2×50 mL), brine (50 ml), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford 3-chloro-2,2-dimethyl-1-pyrrolidin-1-yl-propan-1-one as a yellow solid, 0.576 g, 94%. To this intermediate, 3-chloro-2,2-dimethyl-1-pyrrolidin-1-yl-propan-1-one (0.57 g, 3 mmol) in anhydrous THF (20 mL) was slowly added a 1M anhydrous THF solution of lithium aluminium hydride (7.5 mL, 7.5 mmol) at room temperature. The resulting clear solution was stirred overnight at room temperature under nitrogen to give a cloudy suspension. Water (0.3 mL) was carefully added to the reaction mixture followed by 15% w/v aqueous sodium hydroxyde solution (0.3 mL) and water (0.9 mL). The reaction was filtered and the filtrate evaporated to dryness to give the title compound which was used without further purification.
